Enlargement
Does
Penis Size Matter?
You apparently
believe that size does matter or you wouldn't be reading this.
You may or may not have an average penis size, which is 5 ½
to 6 inches, but doe it really matter? While you may believe a
longer, thicker penis is the answer to satisfying lovemaking not
everyone would agree, particularly women.
In fact,
women who participate in an informal poll overwhelmingly said
it is the quality of the lover that matters, not the quantity
of the lover's penis.
However,
perception is reality, so we at MyHealthyPenis offer the following
information concerning penile enlargement options.
Naturally,
you should seek the advice of a medical professional before investing
time and money in any enlargement program. That said, there are
a variety of products and programs on the market that are specifically
designed to help elongate or thicken a penis
at least for
brief periods.

Vacuum
Pumps
Blood
flow to the penis is the heart of an erection and increasing blood
flow in the penile tissue is key to size ... length and girth.
Using
a vacuum pump, developed to help with impotence, can result in
enlarging the penis. The enlargement is apparent whenever the
pump is used.
Vacuum
pumps are simple in design and function. The penis is placed in
a tube and when the device is operated (manually or electrically)
a vacuum is created that draws blood into the penis and surrounding
tissue. An erection created by vacuum pump usually takes up to
3 minutes and can last about 30 minutes. Those using a vacuum
pump strictly for enlargement purposes may need a constriction
ring to maintain the erection. Comfortable elastic rings, however,
are rings available. The ring is slipped over the erect penis
and slid down to the base and remains there for the duration.
It is recommended that constriction rings be used for no longer
than 30 minutes at a time.
Men without
medical conditions can use vacuum pumps according to manufacturer
instructions. However, because pumps increase blood flow, men
suffering from certain medical conditions including diabetes and
bleeding disorders should seek permission from a physician before
use.

Penis
Stretching
Stretching
exercises have been known to enlarge the penis expanding the tissue
surrounding the member. The more penile tissue, the more room
for blood flow. The more blood flow, the bigger the size of the
penis.
Although
weight systems are available to assist with penis stretching,
some men have reported painful experiences and injury. Hand stretching
is a slow but safe method to achieve enlargement of the penis.
The basic
penis stretching exercise is to grasp the soft shaft-skin of the
flaccid penis just below the head and pull it forward as far as
possible. Hold in place for at least 45 seconds. Repeat five times.
This exercise should be performed at least four days each week
until results are seen, usually within several months.Some stretching
systems call for tape to be placed on the stretched skin after
it is pulled over the head as far as possible. The tape remains
in place for nearly 24 hour a day, seven days a week.

Milking
it
The ancient
milking or Jelq procedure (so called because of the rhythm established
while performing the technique) is said to add legendary length
and girth to the penis by increasing blood flow.
Jelqing
programs usually call for milking exercises to be performed for
up to 30 minutes daily. As with most penis stretching programs,
the jelqing should be performed while in a flaccid or slightly
engorged state, not while having a full erection.
To begin,
moisten your hands with oil or gel and grasp your penis firmly
at the base with your thumb and index finger. Move your enclosed
fingers toward the head of the penis in a slow, but firm stroke.
When you reach the rim of the head, take your other hand and grasp
the penis at the base, working that hand forward to repeat the
process. Continue alternating hands to establish a "milking"
rhythm. Perform the exercise for up to 10 minutes daily for the
first week. Increase the grip strength and rhythm as well as the
duration of the exercise sessions during each consecutive week
until you reach a comfortable plateau and/or see results.

Be Healthy
Keep in
mind that although the penis is a pleasure tool, it is also just
another part of the body. It operates on hormones, blood flow
and muscular reaction just like the rest of your anatomy.
An erection
is simply the result of increased blood flow into the penile tissue.
According to a study of male sexual dysfunction by Columbia University
College, the blood flow into the penile tissues during erection
is about 11 times that of the a flaccid penis.
Given
that information, it is important that men experiencing penile
dysfunction do their best to lead healthy lifestyles.
Nitric
oxide
Nitric
oxide is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses and the
transport of oxygen to tissues in the body. A study by Johns Hopkins
scientists confirmed more than a decade ago confirmed that the
release of nitric oxide from the nerve endings is the cause of
an erection. The more blood flows into the penis, the more nitric
oxide is activated and the longer an erection is sustained.
According
to a release issued by the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions
Office of Communications and Public Affairs, as blood flow increases,
nitric oxide is then released from the endothelial cells in the
wall of the blood vessels, instead of the nerves themselves. "A
key element in the attainment of erection is the continuous activation
of the source of nitric oxide in the blood vessel walls,"
the report states.
Nitric
oxide is available in tablet form and has been reported to produce
firmer and larger appearing erections in some men after extended
use. Others report no effect on penis size.

Arginine
Arginine
is a protein component known for allowing more blood flow to the
penis, triggering the release of nitric oxide. It's stimulating
effects have been cited in medical journals. Some say the substance
appears to relax the smooth muscles within the penis, thereby
allowing more blood to enter and create a large and firm erection.
Others report no effect on penis size.
Ginkgo
is a natural substance that is also known to relax the blood vessels,
thereby increasing the blood flow to the penis. An herb, ginkgo
is derived from a tree.

Pills
Penis
Enlargement Pills are also available. The pills are said to expand
the penile tissue and increase the blood retention to produce
a bigger erection.
The tablets
contain a cocktail of natural herbs, vitamins and minerals that
affect blood flow and will likely produce positive effects in
some men. Others report no effect on penis size.
